What Is The LGBT Rights Support Fund?
The LGBT Rights Support Fund is the only LGBT-led organization that focuses solely on supporting national LGBT activism to advance social justice movements and agendas. We bring new resources and new opportunities to our community by supporting local activists. This support is key to long-term expansion, rejuvenation and sustainability of LGBT's movements and organizations that work on behalf of the over 2 million LGBT individuals in Tanzania.

The Challenge
Members of the Tanzanian LGBT community face many challenges to leading safe, happy, and fulfilling lives. We face arrest, imprisonment, loss of employment, disowning by our families, denial of access to health services, expulsion from school, and physical attacks. This is compounded by the introduction of anti-LGBT legislation that results in severe persecution for our community members. Investing your time, energy, and capital in LGBT rights will help our community overcome these social and legal hurdles.

Solution
There are many ways for you to help the Tanzanian LGBT community. You can:
• Train LGBT activists on organizational, informational, and personal security;
• Help fight a legal case;
• Help organize advocacy workshops to discuss LGBT rights;
• Sponsor one LGBT homeless youth; and
• Print a flyer, a poster, and other IC materials with messages that educate the public about the rights of LGBT individuals.

Long-Term Impact

Your donations to this project will make Tanzania safer for LGBT individuals by supporting LGBT groups and activists leading the fight against the anti-LGBT laws that are being introduced. Preventing such legislation will ensure that no one is denied access to fundamental human rights or equal access based on their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Thanks for the help!
